How America’s New Trust Verification Standard Is Transforming the SME Landscape

In a country where more than 33 million small and mid-sized businesses drive economic growth, the United States has long lacked a unified, independent verification system capable of evaluating a company’s service quality, customer trust, operational resilience, and managerial discipline.

This gap has now been filled by the Quality Mark Business Excellence Award—a national verification institution founded by entrepreneur Vasyl Popov, creator of one of the largest SME evaluation systems in the U.S. and architect of a SERVQUAL-aligned trust analysis methodology.

In just a short time, the award has evolved into one of the nation’s most influential verification platforms—used by companies to:

  • strengthen their reputation and market credibility,
  • increase customer conversion rates,
  • secure greater trust from investors and partners,
  • optimize internal processes and elevate service standards.

A Recognition Program Reshaping America’s SME Sector

In May 2024, the Organizing Committee announced a new cohort of winners—businesses that demonstrated exceptional quality, customer-centricity, innovation, and operational excellence within their industries.

The scope of this cycle is notable:
The award covered 10+ major economic sectors, including technology, finance, education, wellness, security, retail, real estate, and media.

“These companies are shaping a new culture of quality in the United States.
Service is no longer a marketing slogan—it is a management system.”
— Quality Mark Business Excellence Award Organizing Committee
